Calvin Klein was a very smart man. He I think was the creator who introduced jeans into the fashion world so that jeans were acceptable to be worn almost anywhere. In his advertising he went for youth, and thin very thin. I found that Calvin Klein like most designers always showed their clothes on ridiculously skinny models (male & female). He as Gloria Vanderbilt, Bill Blass and Liz Claiborne have all forgotten that not everyone is a size 1.
I have on many occasions purchased CK jeans and tops, and I have made many trips back to the stores to return the jeans or sweaters. The quality is not the best, jeans do shrink, sweaters, pullovers, shrink and fade. The only way you can obtain a clean not worn out look for the sweaters is to take them to the dry cleaners and of course that can become a costly ordeal.
I think his prices are way out of line. Not everyone can pay $60.00 for a pair of jeans, or $38.00 for just a pullover tee-shirt. Rather you buy his items in a retail store, online or at an outlet (you have to really be careful) his products are always overpriced.
If you can purchase these jeans or shirts on sale then you just may be getting a good bargin. But buyer beware just because it is on sale does not mean it is still worth buying.
